ford to tell the truth. "Thrice
armed is he who hath his qnarrel
just" Yours &C., G. II j. Tay-
lor.
1t can be seen even by Mr.. Tay-
lor's latter statement that he
doesn't consider the editor of the
Bee such a bad man after all.
His qualities is sufficient" in his
own language, not to destroy the
poor little Bee, although he will
commence his influence" &c.
What is a barrister in the q. S.
Supreme court, which appears on
Mr.. Taylor's card i'll bold type?
Why it means that he was admit
ted to practice there and all other
courts are inferior. In Justice to
Mr.. Taylor the Bee has corrected
all erroneous impressions the peo>
pie had of him as to his intelli-
gence, a man of letters and dipio-
mat. The people have been
impressed with the idea that Mr..
Taylor was a different man than
what the Bee has pictured him to
be and at his own request such an
erroneous impression has been
corrected. 1t is to be regretted
u that that the editor of the Bee
was the cause of Mr.. Taylor max
ing false charges against gentle
men and discards hiscompany
for investigating them. The Bee
has lost in Mr.. Taylor man of
letters (D a six months diplomat
and a man of influence. Read
Mr.. Taylor's letter carefully, go to
the Department of the State, read
his letters and reports on Liberia
and decide In your own mind why
Mr.. Taylor resigned.

''My qualities is sufficient to hold

If a man possesses qualities they
must have a modifying clause
to make them agree.
81 do not consi der you in any
way my equals &c. ii. j. Taylor.
United States Minis ter to Liberia.
For this assertion he compels the
Bee to "apologise," If not he will
not recognise the Bee any more.
G. 81. J. Taylor, United States
Minister and barrister of the
Supreme court needs a spelling

dictionary.
The last thing Is G. H. J. Tay-
lor's grammar and dictionary. A
new book found in this issue of the
Bee.
1t is not every one who can write
a grammar.
The Bee has lost the influence of
a colOred diplomat.
There is no difference between

The Bee is not dead yet, perhaps
his influence has not commenced
to work.

see how mnch strength he had to
walk home, when the Bee has fin

Taylor said that Ex-minister
Smith, is guilty and Mr.. Smvth
says he lied. This of course is a
question of varacity.
The Bee has the proof that he
said it, if Mr.. Smyth wants to
proceed.
Taylor said that he resigned to
get better position in this city.
He paid his respects to Ex, Re-

TIE HON. nc, Ill. j. TAYLOR.

The man who b s tie honor of
bearing this name, is from Kansas
City, Mo-. presents his card
a barr ster in the United States
Supreme Court, Washington ID. q.
He called at this office Thursday
November 10Th and made ma
licious and damaging statements
against ex-minister j. H. Smylh
and others, which were denied by
tnem and pronounced as
malicious falseho DIS.
Mr.. Taylor On the other hand,
charges the editor of the BEE
with being party to scheme,
to lnjure him. We did not ask
Mr. Taylor for these statements,
nor are we responsible for his res
ignation. If any sensible person
will read carefully, MIR. TayIor's
letter in this weeks issue of the
BEE, he will conclude that it
was not Liberia that caused Mr..
Taylor's resignation, but his great
diplomatic letters, and that $50
page report and the murder of the
Kings english that caused him to
resign the Liberian Mission.
o. course we do not
know why Mr.. Taylor
should become disguised so soon
with such an important mission
nor can we account for his great
knowledge of the country, when
he was only there about three
weeks at the utmost. lie eudden-
ly return, d to this country and
declared mat there was ID govern
ment IN Liberia, and comdemI ed
ex minister Smyth's personal and
official record. Mr. Taylor is the
m 20 circulating falsehoods.
We knew nothing of Mr.. Smiths
official and personal record until
Mr.. Taylor visited US, and related
a u the circumstance 10 US in the
presence of witnesses. Take Mr..
Tsylor's letter and judge for your
selves whether 1t Was the 81 mate 0
LIBERIA, or hIs Kings english that
caused his resignation to the De-
partment of 5 ate. Mr.. Taylor
stated that it was the climate, hut
the BEE would state that it was
the cowardly mulder of the kings
english if We are to judge from his
letter in this weeks BEE. He has
asked us to correct all erroneous
statements conct rnlng himself.
We do so with pleasure, because
we would not have the public to
be 80 deceived, nor would we mis-,
represent such a man as Mr.. Tay-
lor. We have pointed out the i'm
perfections in his letter aud DEM
onstrated to the public, that the
President misrt presented Mr.. Tay-
lor, and imposed upon the colored
people of this country, by appoin.
uing him to represent the United
States, at the Republic of Liberia.
And let this memenlo be handed
down to posterity, as the immor-
tai words Of q. Ill. J. Taylor, bar
rister in the U. s. supreme court,
Washington ID. O., so that the
coming generation may know
that, his "quaIi6eS IS sufficient" to
hold his own.

Ed. BEE:
S1R:-I was quite sur
prised to learn through the coll
umns of your last weeks issue
that I had been expelled from the
Fraternals. AS no reason WIS
assigned for such action, and the
public was left to infer what it
chose. / ask space in the present
issue to explain, although 1 am
very little bothered about the pub
lication. l have lost no sleep
whatever on that account up to the
present time. ..
Twas a member of the aforesaid
club at its organization, at which
time all of its members, except one,
were entire strangers to me. l
thought the object was to have d
club which would be creditable to
it's members and to the community,
and so it was for time. But it
soon began to go down, and has
continued to go down ever since,
until it has reached such a state as
to make such disgraceful scenes
probable as occurred at it's last re-
ception. One by one the members
have dropped out of the club dis
gusted with its actions, until the
active membership has been reduc
ed from seventeen to ten il al all O.
those are not in good standing and
the honorary membership has
dropped from thirty-seven to eleven
and since the last reception there
are others who have fol hidden the
further use of their names.
Having found out that | had
made mistake in joining he club,
and that the business capacities of
the members are limited, in fact
one O: two from the great head that
wags the little tail, | felt that
was under no obligations to re
main longer member. so, some
time in the early part Of last oct,
[ sent a formal resignation which
should now be on their file, as /
have never withdrawn it. Two or
weeks after, | learned by accident,
that the members, in their pro-
found wisdom, (the great head
had nodded and the little tail had
consequently wagged) had decided
not 10 consider my resignation un-
til [ had returned to them my
badge. At that time | considered
myself a member and not obliged
to give up my badge, it not being
customary to give up effects until
one ceases to be member of an
organization, or at least, until he is
notified that his resignation will be
excepted. But after learning that
| could not be trusted with so much
precious metal in my possession,
| (and might have sold it and Ob-
tanned money enough to have ena-
bled me to go afOOt to Georgetown,
so valuable is it) with penitence of
heart for causing the members, of
that assemblage of extremely hon
est men, innocent lambs, purely
unsophiticated in deeds of wrong,
to think that L would commit
deed so utterly wicked, l decided |
to humbly return the badge, but
before [ was able to do so / was ex-
PEELED. 1t is impossible for me to
find words to adequately express
my grief at their action. l hope
the honorable gedtlemen (?) will
perml. me to remain in the city.
But, poor deluded creatures,
since they have done me no harm,
nor Can l freely forgive them, ac-
cepting what they have done as the
fault of weak heads and not of wick
ed hearts. Here after L shall en-
deavor to remember the hOmely,
but good old maxim, eff you lie
down with dogs, etc."
Yours respectfully,

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-siX cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the 70 cent
size. The August Flower for Dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaint, and the
German Syrup for Cough and Lung
troubles, have perhaps the largest
sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size OF
the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every
town and village in civilized coun-
tries. Sample hotties for 10 cents
remain the same size.

Family Troubles. 2

Was there ever family without its
troubles? Adam and Eve had their
troubles in Eden; and all families
have had their troubles. Every fam
ily has skeleton behind the door (;
every person has thorn in his side.
Ii is said that misery loves company,
so take courage, helpless man. wea-
ried woman. YOU are in the majority.
Man is born to trouble as the
sparks are to fly upward" A useless
family would yours be if it knew nc
trouble. Trouble is our great teach
er. 1t nerves us with strength; il
gives us courage; tempers our metal
it develops seif-control; it quickens
our inventive power. Troubles are
to us what the winds are TO the oak
what labor is TO the muscle-what
study is to the mind. Life is school,
and trouble is oneof the great lessons
Troubles are not to be courted, but
when they come, we must get over
them the best way we can, or bear
them with the best fortitude we car
arouse. Take courage, therefore
troubled one. Not in vain are your
trials. They make you brave, strong
and, it is to be hoped, better. Be moi
! cast down, cheer up; cast aside youl
weeds and woes. Look the world in
the face; do your duty; take every
trouble by the horns, overcome il
with the courage Of true soldier ii
life's great campaign, and stoutly
contend for the victory of will anc
wisdom.
